Microsoft has never seemed to treat bitlocker seriously.
Back in the windows 7 days you could stick a windows installer CD in and press Shift+F7 or something and get a system command prompt with the drive unlocked.
Surely when someone said 'we're gonna let the installer unlock bitlocker' they immediately thought 'That means the whole installer needs to be as secure as the login screen' right? Seemingly not.
Seriously enough to make it turned on by default.
Which really annoyed me. Desktops don't need encrypted drives.

On my birthday iirc once long time ago I think in 5-6th class not sure, my brother gave me his laptop, I wanted to do python but python wanted admin password on windows to install properly. So what I did was I dont even remember how, but download one operating system which could then crack the windows password so that I can set new and I used that to then set a new password to then install python. to then only print hello world :D (I think only because one of the cousins I really admire mentioned that he made 2k loc of python once and I thought during that time, python is the endgame). We are talking about windows 7 but I think that windows 10 security must've gotten better. So these are some things that I have done, I wouldn't call it coding as much as tinkering but I love doing these things from as long as I can remember :D
